During the second Test match against Sri Lanka on Saturday, Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s shot went for a six, injuring one fan in the stands at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Rohit smashed Vishwa Fernando’s short ball for a six over deep midwicket in the sixth over of the encounter. The shot may have received applause from the audience, but one spectator suffered a nasal bone fracture and a severe cut as a result of the Indian skipper’s stroke.

Gaurav Vikas Parvar, 22, was transported to HOSMAT hospital on Magrath Road with a nasal bone fracture and a cut injury after being struck by the ball, according to the Deccan Herald. He received treatment for both injuries and was released shortly after.
Dr. Ajit Benedict Rayan, Medical Director and Vice-President of HOSMAT, who was also present at the stadium at the time of the incident, claimed that they bandaged the fan’s wound first and quickly sent him to the hospital, which is the KSA’s official partner (KSCA).
“I was watching the game from behind the pavilion when I saw a young guy in the deep stand getting struck by the ball.” Dr. Ajith was reported by Deccan Herald as stating, “He was carried to the medical room in the stadium by KSCA (Karnataka State Cricket Association) volunteers.”
“We put a compression bandage on the incision and took him to the hospital in an ambulance.” The X-ray revealed a minor nasal bone fracture that did not need surgery. He did, however, need sutures. In a week, the suture will be removed,” he noted.
The observer was released and is doing fine.
Gaurav is doing fine, according to the wounded spectator’s brother. “He’s in good shape. He got released from the hospital and is currently on his way to the stadium to witness the game. According to the Deccan Herald, Gaurav’s brother Rajesh remarked, “The volunteers helped us.”
On the first day of the Pink-Ball Day-Night match, India were bowled out for 252 after Shreyas Iyer’s 92 propelled them to a big total. With Niroshan Dickwella (13) and Lasith Embuldeniya (0) at the crease, Sri Lanka were reduced to 86/6.
